Mark Steyn on Free Speech - mine, his and yours
Herald Sun ^ | June 22, 2011 | Andrew Bolt, Mark Steyn.

Posted on 06/21/2011 11:53:55 PM PDT by passionfruit

Many flattering and supportive things were said by very fine speakers at the IPA function on Monday defending my right to free speech. I thank again Michael Kroger, Professor James Allan, David Kemp, Paul Howes and IPA boss John Roskam. I also thank again John Howard, Tony Abbott, Scott Ryan and others for sending their own messages of support. But of all that was said on the night and sent, Mark Steyn’s contribution was the one that brought down the house. I confess to being in awe of it - not just because I appreciate the compliment of having it come from probably the most brilliant columnist in the English-speaking world, but because it’s such a tremendous piece of writing.

He wrote about 9 “aborigines” and their light skin color, implying that they were claiming to be aborigines in order to claim benefits. I saw pictures of the 9, and have to agree with Bolt. They appear to be absolutely 100% caucasian of northern European descent.
